Chilly Morning

Early, chilly autumn morning
A light curtain of fog hangs low
Faint rusty colored leaves, sights bring
Through the curtain, as it lifts slow
Things are a bit hazy for now
Still waking from coffee, I walk
Knowing later will clear somehow
Then maybe I’m ready to talk
The weather changes around me
And I am ready to let go
Of nagging images I see
Replaced by this beautiful show

I enjoyed the way you related the early chilly morning fog to your emotions and how when the fog lifts so will your mood brighten and be able to let go of negativity.. beautifully done, Heidi. Your talent and appreciation for Nature shine in this piece. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

I can feel fall in your poem. We had our first chilly morning Saturday and my furnace wouldn't heat. Oh, well, it's fixed now.
